By William Branigin Washington Post TEHRAN, Iran Two Swiss Red Cross officials visited the occupied US embassy yesterday after reaching a compromise on visitation terms with its militant captors.

The visitors insisted later they had seen all the American hostages. "I wiil just tell you that I saw all of the hostages, that it took eight hours and that I'm rather tired," said Harald Schmid de Grueneck. the permanent representative in Tehran of the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross. But he refused to disclose how many hostages were visited, apparently as part of an agreement with the captors designed to pave the way for further possible visits. The other Red Cross official, Dr.

Bernard Jyiebeskind, said the physical and mental conditions of the hostages were "not bad," and that he found only "minor problems" among them. He said they had regular access to medical attention. The officials declined to give further details of the hostges' conditions and would not discuss reports that some of the captives were suffering from depression. WILLIAM A. HENRT 3d For criticism ELLEN GOODMAN For commentary STEPHEN KURKJIAN For investigative reporting allowed to make regular visits.

They (the militants) did seem receptive." De Grueneck said he had not consulted the US government before the visit. The State Department yesterday publicly dismissed the significance of the visit. Associated Press reported, but acknowledged it could be helpful to the captives and their families. State Department spokesman Hodding Carter said that if the Red Cross representatives saw all 50 hostages and are able to report on their condition, "It will be a plus." But, he added, "it will not be anything but a palliative a mask for the central reality that they are being held." Diplomatic sources here said they hoped the visit to the embassy would clear up a mystery about the fate of several hostages denounced by their captors as "spies" and believed held In solitary confinement. Among them are said to be William Daugherty, Malcolm Kalp, Thomas Ahem and Michael J.

De Grueneck said the team took messages from the captives, and that these would be delivered to their families by the end of the week. If the Red Cross officials were correct, the visit would be the first time that independent foreign observers have visited all the hostages since the embassy was seized Nov.

But, he added, "It was not a visit which was done under strict ICRC conditions. We nevertheless accepted to do It, because we do believe that what we could do was very useful for the families and we only think of the families In the States."

The New York Times Is the only other newspaper Iri history to win three Pulitzers in one year (1978). The winners were: The Spotlight Team, for Local Investigative Reporting, for its "powerfully effective expose" on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Columnist Ellen Goodman, for Distinguished Commentary. Television critic William A.

Henry 3d. for Distinguished Criticism. The Spotlight Team included editor Stephen A. Kurkjian, reporters Alexander B. Hawes Nils Bruzelius and Robert Porterfield, and researcher Joan Vennochi.

The team won the same award in 1972 for a series of stories on corruption in the city of Somerville. A series of editorials, "Searching for an Energy Policy." by Anne C. Wyman, Bruce Davidson and Thomas Oliphant was a finalist in theEditorial Writing category. Paul Szep, who won Pulitzers in 1974 and 1977, was one of three finalists in Editorial Cartooning. These were the sixth, seventh and eighth Pulitzer Prizes for The Globe, all received since 1966.

Only the New York Times, the Washington -Post and the Associated Press, each with 11, have won more In the past 15 years. The Philadelphia Inquirer continued its admirable streak yesterday, winning its sixth straight Pulitzer Prize, this one in the category of general local reporting, for Its coverage of the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pa. Upon receiving notification of the awards. Globe Publisher William O. Taylor said, "It's the happiest moment I've had since coming to The Globe 22 years ago." Globe Editor Thomas Winship said: "Wei at The Globe like to think that It is some recognition of the paper's dedication to serious investigative reporting and to its encouragement of free, vigorous and attractive commentary.

Perhaps put another way, it is recognition that The Globe remains a writer's paper of serious purpose." PULITZER. Page 10 Miffed panel spills private Dwight testimony By Walter V. Robinson GlobeStaff The chairman of the special state contracts commission yesterday expressed the commission's "dismay" at the refusal by former Lt. Gov. Donald R.

Dwight to appear before it. The commission promptly made public Dwight's private testimony before it in January. In that unusual move, the commission released testimony in which Dwight said 79 times that he couldn't recall or didn't remember details of state design contract awards when he was state administration commissioner and later lieutenant governor. Dwight, in that January 30 testimony, however, appeared to contradict himself several times when he was asked whether he influenced his successors as administration commissioners after he became lieutenant governor. Two of those successors, William I.

Cowln and Charles E. Shepard, in turn contradicted Dwight's January testimony when they testified before the Special Commission Concerning State and County Buildings yesterday afternoon. Cowin and Shepard also denied that check marks and dots appearing next to the names of winning design firms on lists of three finalists were placed there by others before they made the formal decisions. Testimony before the commission yesterday and last week has suggested strongly that the process was prearranged, with design firms actually selected by persons other than the administration and finance commissioners who had that responsibility. Two other former commissioners, Robert L.

Yasl and David Marchand, are scheduled to testify today, setting the stage tomorrow for an appearance by Albert H. Zabriskie, who served as COMMISSION. Page 13 A study finds few Catholics take Pope's views seriously Jl bV-I i This is the last in a three-part series on the effect of John Paul II's papacy on the Catholic Church in America. By Dianne Dumanoski GlobeStaff While a vocal but tiny minority of Catholic activists are doing battle over the theological pronouncements of Pope John Paul II, their concerns are apparently meaningless to the vast majority America's 50 million Roman Catholic parishioners. At the parish level, according to interviews with AMKRICAN CATHOLICS: Says William McCready, a sociologist at the University of Chicago who has specialized in studies of American rank and file don't take the Pope seriously, which doesn't mean they don't like him." The Pope functions for many as a figurehead, perhaps comparable to the Queen of England, McCready says.

If the Pope is popular and charismatic like this one, it's a plus and boosts the spirits of the parish Catholic. If there's an unpopular Pope, it really doesn't matter much one way or another, he adds. To sample the feelings of American parishioners. The Globe chose four parishes two in the Chicago area and two in greater Boston parishes which represent some of the diversity of American Cathollv clsm. None Is ultraconservative or ultrallberal.

St. Wenceslaus in northwest Chicago has its roots in the time when the American Church was an Immigrant church. Its parishioners are somewhat older than the average Chicago area churchgoer and generally traditional In their thinking. While St. Ann's In Somerville Is also mainly a blue collar parish, It Is considerably less traditional and has much more lay involvement.

Rather it is that life goes on unchanged despite the Pope's call to return to traditional church teaching.
